Celebrating Achievement

Ava McIntyre (Year 8) has recently turned her focus to cycling and triathlons. After a few short weeks riding with Cairns Cycling Club, Ava competed in her first cycling event in Mareeba over the weekend and placed 3rd in the Under 15 Junior category.

Ava is working hard to achieve her goal to make the Peninsula Triathlon Squad later in the year.

Georgiana Thomas-Peddell (Year 12) is a proud mainland Torres Strait Islander and Kaurareg descendant with ties to Mabuiag, Mua and Muralag Islands in the Torres Strait.

She has embarked on a music composition project which was inspired by the NAIDOC theme ‘Always Was, Always Will Be’, and celebrates the strong and resilient cultures of First Nations people.
